Press Association Sport will continue its eight year data partnership with English and Scottish football after being awarded exclusive worldwide data collection, management and supply rights for the top professional leagues.

In addition to collecting and databasing data from grounds, Press Association Sport will have the worldwide supply rights to the information. They will work with STATS, the Chicago-based sports information provider, as an exclusive data supply partner in North America and Japan.

Football DataCo, set up by the Premier League and Football League to provide data services, granted the contracts following a competitive tender process which also sees Satellite Information Services (SIS) given the exclusive rights to supply football data into the betting sector.

The deal covers data from the Premier League and Football League in England and the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League for the 2010/11 to 2012/13 seasons.

Press Association Sport has worked with Football DataCo on gathering and supplying data since DataCo’s formation by the football leagues in 2001. The new deal will see the company capturing richer live data from games than ever before using Amisco technology. There will also be a greater focus on digital product development with the aim of increasing the reach of English and Scottish football data across the world.
